I’ve always been a huge fan of Luke Jaeger’s brainchild Sleep Terror. His brand of instrumental funky shred death is very unique, and his DIY formula is very inspiring. He’s taken the time to do an interview with us, which you can read below. If you somehow haven’t heard of Luke or Sleep Terror, you should definitely check out his material over on Bandcamp!
How and when did you start to play the guitar?
I picked it up at 11 pretty much. I was obsessed with music from an early age and felt it was long overdue to begin even then.
I always wanted to set out and do my own thing. I remember from as early as 12 or 13 writing a lot of my own stuff, recording my own ideas on 4-tracks and crappy cassette players. After many of the influences melded and death metal became a huge staple of my life it pretty much came into place. There was never a specific formula, it was just writing and playing many styles of music that I love and making it one entity.

Feast your ears on this fresh death metal gem dug up by pirates online somewhere. Obituary‘s new album Darkest Day is out there right now somewhere. Do a blog search to find it or something.
I just got back from watching Drag Me To Hell and it scared me shitless. Go out and watch it.
